RBA, Thai Airways Tie-Up On BSB-Bangkok Flights

Bandar Seri Begawan - From May 15, Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) will be teaming up with Thai Airways International Public Company Limited to offer code-share daily flights between Bandar Seri Begawan and Bangkok.

Under the code-share agreement, Thai Airways will market RBA flights B1515 and B1516 as TG4602 and TG4603 respectively.

In a statement released yesterday, RBA Chief Executive Officer Ray Sayer said that the code-share agreement with Thai Airways will enable RBA to welcome travellers from a wider target market.

Thai Airways' spokesperson, Executive Vice President for Commercial, Pandit Chanapai, meanwhile pointed out that the collaboration allows passengers in both countries and connecting passengers from abroad to take advantage of travel and tourism opportunities in both countries.

RBA also announced its new Summer Schedule yesterday, which features standard timings and more frequent flights to popular destinations.

"The airline is committed to meeting the needs of target passengers in various markets while also better serving Brunei's travel needs," CEO Sayer was quoted as saying. The schedule, which aims to improve accessibility to Brunei Darussalam from regional and international destinations, will take effect from June 1.

Under the new schedule, passengers from Brunei and Miri can now take advantage of daily services to Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Kota Kinabalu, Hong Kong, Perth, Brisbane, Auckland, Dubai and London. Flights to Singapore will be operating twice daily, while those to Kota Kinabalu will be increased to 17 times every week.

Flights to Kuching will operate five times a week, to Surabaya six times a week and to Auckland three times a week directly from Brunei. Flights to Auckland via Brisbane will continue to operate four times a week. For more information, call RBA Reservations offices at 2212222 or 3333737.-- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
